El Paso Woman, 21, Booked Into Doña Ana County on Failure to Appear Warrant

Allegedly... Dayanara Cortez, a 21-year-old resident of El Paso, Texas, was booked into the Doña Ana County Detention Center on July 15, 2026. Records indicate she was processed under booking number 2600005595 following an arrest at 170 Pete V. Domenici. She is currently being held on a misdemeanor charge of failure to appear, with no bond amount specified in the initial booking record. A failure to appear charge generally stems from a defendant missing a scheduled court proceeding or failing to respond to a judicial summons. The arrest location at the Pete V. Domenici Highway suggests the contact occurred near the Santa Teresa Port of Entry or within the surrounding jurisdictional area. This type of warrant authorizes law enforcement to take an individual into custody to ensure their presence before a judge. The charges are allegations, and Dayanara Cortez is presumed innocent unless and until a court finds otherwise.
